Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. The point of this is not to kill people. At a high enough n, not killing people = safety. This isn't a religion.

It's ridiculous to say "oh well, you did it 40 million times and nothing bad happened, but what about if you do it 4 BILLION times then. What about that? " 40 million departures is a non-trivial fraction of all airline departures ever. US 121 is safe. Barring evidence otherwise, that isn't changing. Arguing about how many angels can dance on a QRH doesn't make airline crash deaths go negative.
